Evan Turnage enters the race, saying he has access in Washington D.C. Bennie Thompson doesn’t have. The MS-02 race is shaping up to be one of Thompson’s most contested cycles in his 32 years in office. He now has a Democrat challenger along with an Independent and two Republicans in the race.
Evan Turnage was born in Mississippi’s 2nd Congressional District in 1992.
“This was the poorest district and the poorest state in the country,” Turnage said of the Mississippi Delta region.
